Within weeks, Babbitt tried to pay the same bill twice, an issue compounded by the fact the publishers were already short on cash.
The magazine leans on Babbitt's extensive knowledge of the fitness industry, on his connections to prominent athletes and on a team of freelance writers who understand the sports they cover.
Before they launched their magazine, Babbitt, a triathlete, was teaching physical education at the Children's School in Sorrento Valley and Schwartz was an art teacher there.

  The Funk Brothers interview
Bob is quite the story teller, and with his varied experiences with Motown and other top recording artists in the industry, he was gracious enough to share his accounts of being one of the premiere bassists for Motown’s Funk Brothers, as well as one of the well-sought studio musicians.
Bob stated that he was flown to Nashville a few times to do complete some studio gigs and he just fell in love in with the musical tapestry Nashville contained.
Bob, along the rest of the members of The Funk Brothers, really have been standing in the shadows for much too long, so I am quite elated to see that these talented musicians are finally getting their due.

 WTC Honors Bob Babbitt with Ironman Hall of Fame Induction - IRONMAN.com
Babbitt's induction to the Ironman Hall of Fame this year is a fitting tribute to a man who knows the history of the event more than any other.
Babbitt is so attuned to the event that he has an eerie ability to call it before it even begins.
His ability to show us all how those "Challenged Athletes" are competitors (not just people trying to get to the finish line) who race either in wheelchairs, or with prosthetic devices, is possibly his greatest contribution to their cause.

Babbitt and his then-roommate, famed mountain biker Ned Overend, had trained for Ironman Hawaii's 2.4-mile swimming leg in a 15-meter apartment pool, 120 lengths to the mile.
While Babbitt exaggerates about his supposed flab and says that glaciers move faster, truth is, like his magazine's name, he's a competitor.

Super Stock driver Bob Babbitt of Pavilion came off a strong second place finish at Freedom Raceway in Friday’s Regional Racing Series event; to claim the lead twice on Saturday at Genesee and hold defending champion Jim Johnson at bay in the final laps.
Babbitt squirted to an immediate half a straightaway advantage off the pole at the start of the 20 lap event, leaving fellow pole-sitter Joe Horton and second row starter Dave DuBois to race for second place.
Lap 13 proved to be lucky for Babbitt as he blew by DuBois in turn two to reclaim the lead with his Arrow Mart/D.W.’s Golf/Dalton Builders number 2.

But, I never really assimilated what was so unique about Bob Babbitt until the night I spent with my nose glued to the pages of his book.
Babbitt's true gift to all of us is his understanding of how we view the giants and dwarfs of our sport, how we obsess about the great battles all the way from the front to the back.
While it may be impossible to dislike Babbitt and his clearly selfless ambitions, it is even more difficult to put on his glasses and not see Kona more clearly than you ever did before.

I'm curious as to what equipment Bob Babbitt was using during the Motown days.
Bob, does that mean if I played you a 'Motown' style composition, with a generic bass line on, you could improvise and give it that '60's Detroit' sound, without intricate music charts (by ear)?
Also, if anyone wants to see Bob on stage with the setup he was describing, we've got a picture on the website http://www.StandingInTheShadowsOfMotown.com -- click on "Production Photos" and scroll about halfway down the page.

I'll be interviewing him within the next week, perhaps as early as tomorrow afternoon, for a story I'll be writing on that Funk Bros. gig I mentioned here a few days ago and would be happy to use this as an opportunity to satisfy Pitters' curiosity to the extent I can.
Questions from a music lover's perspective, rather than a bass player's perspective, are most appropriate and are most likely to get asked.
Anyway, Babbitt (the man) has a great body of work and should be here in the Pit.
